I Am Going to Say Something Controversial

H&M was accused of racism over and advert showing a black kid wearing a hoodie with the slogan 'coolest monkey in the jungle'.

There is racism, I agree, but not on H&M side, but in the sick minds making an association between the word 'monkey' and the fact the kid is black, instead of just seeing a kid wearing a hoodie.

This topic reminds me off one summer where Australia was playing against West Indies one day international cricket which is sponsored by KFC, there was propaganda with a TV commercial which the scene is the West Indies spectator crowd passing a bucket of KFC chicken.
There was the same issue with “racism” just because it showed West Indie folk eating fried chicken? Who doesn’t love KFC? Our media here is like a sit com almost with this cry baby finger pointing bull crap.
FFS everyone in that AD was eating a piece of chicken. The only thing that’s “racist” about this is the media hype kicking up a stink about it all.

@SW-User Some people need their daily dose of offence, and they will do anything to get it.
